- Add torn spinach into each mold, followed by the sausage mixture. Crack one egg into each mold, keeping the yolk whole.

KM’Tips:
Use silicone muffin molds to make cleanup a breeze.

Make a double batch and freeze for grab-and-go mornings.
For runnier yolks, bake only 15 minutes and monitor closely.

- Replace ham with turkey bacon for a leaner base.
- Add chopped jalapeños for heat or mushrooms for an earthy flavor.
